Charging Cradle

Just ordered it. Don't know why it didn't show up on my VZW store page. Also can't believe I paid $10.00 more than I did for my wife's Xoom HD speaker cradle which just arrived today but hey I've been after one of these for awhile now so I'm not complaining.Thanks again.
 
Here is a copy and paste from another forum. Good info on the Out of Stock problem, although currently it is not saying that.

Good News! How to get a Desktop Charger.

Regarding the Desktop Charger for the Casio G'zOne Commando phone (part# : VZW771DTC):

I've seen a lot of people stating Verizon is always out of stock. I was one of them. Fortunately, this isn't really the case. It's a problem (possibly by design) with their website. They actually have them in stock around the country, but not in every region.

If you change your location you can easily find a location in a region that has them in stock. For example, Los Angeles, California. I've experimented with this and when I'm using a mid-west location, they are out of stock. When I use a west coast location, they are in stock. If I then change back to a mid-west location they are out of stock again.

For those who don't know where the location is, look at the very top line on the VerizonWireless web page. Your location will be left of the "Store Locator" and "Espaniol" language option. Just click on your location and you will have the option to change it either by zip code or by state and then city.
I ordered mine yesterday doing this and they just shipped out from Ontario, California.

This probably works for ANY out of stock item on their site.

Hope this helps a few people get their desktop chargers.
Remember, if you're getting more than one, that they don't come with a wall plug-in so you'll need to get an extra wall charger too.

Mine arrived yesterday also and I'm thankful again that this forum (particularly shadowspirit) helped make that happen.
 
Got mine after I selected the Commando in the "Check Compatibility" button prior to the ordering process. Free shipping to boot. Almost bought a bunch of them to sell on eBay after I saw one auction was over $75.

Loving my Commando, letting my 4 year old daughter use it while taking baths (music and Angry Birds) is just marvelous. Haven't dropped it yet but it does feel really solid and hardy.

Yes I only wear G-Shock watches.
 
i just got mine today, never did receive a tracking number though. anyways well worth the $20. should have ordered 2 :(

Skinomi.com sells skins for our phone that will provide some protection and still allow you to use the cradle. The only choices they currently have are clear(aka naked), silver or black carbon fiber and woodgrain(for the oldschool woody look). All come with a screen protector that fits the entire screen not just the display area. I currently have the black carbon fiber. :)

Ebay seller "decalgirl" also offers skins got a mossy oak camo one for mine looks great they say they cant be reused but i bricked my phone 3 days after i put skin on and got it to come off and go on my new phone without stretching it
 
Has anyone else noticed that the phone doesn't seem to fully charge in the cradle?

When I put my commando in the cradle, the charging light comes on. In the morning, the charge light is still on and my battery widget shows 99%. If I put it back on the cradle for a few seconds, it changes to 100%. When I plug it in directly to the charger without the cradle, it fully charges in just a few hours.

How well is the skin sticking to plastic and rubbery surfaces of the phone? Would love to go oldschool / steampunkish with a wood skin.

So far it has been great only issue i have had was in the z clip case the holes for the speakers have peeled the corners but i suspect it is because it moved the case from my bricked phone to my new one (they say you cant do this) probably loosened the adhesive on my old phone had no issue with case even putting it in my pocket

decalgirl ships fast too ordered it dec 23 and got it within a week
